Mound City Chronicles [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
>>>Elder Tales II, a twenty+ year old MMO, has had a resurgence in popularity after being rediscovered by a new generation of players during the pandemic. A new Expansion Pack, that some say is way over-hyped, is due out on May 3rd and promises to be quite the Internet event as it celebrates the tidal swell of renewed interest in the game.
>>> According to Internet gadflies over 20 million players from across the globe are queued up for the simultaneous worldwide release of the new expansion pack. Whatever adventures the players expected, none of them foresaw waking up in a world eerily like the Elder Tales world!
>>>Mound City Chronicles is a LitRPG game based around the 'Log Horizon' anime/light novel series that touches on Isekai, MMO/Internet culture and Community Building themes using a modified version of the Fabula Ultima game system.
✅Game Duration & Post Frequency:
>>>I intend to run this game for as long as there's interest in exploring Theldesia and the implications of living inside what was once an MMO world. I have no definitive end point for the story.
>>>As for post frequency, I'm aiming for between 3-5 posts a week for potential players. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what's going on. Intended as an RP-heavy game with occasional combat, posting speed may vary.
>>>As is the usual custom, Mon-Fri posting is the normal; weekend/holiday posting is great but never mandatory.
✅Player Experience Requirements:
>>>Open to everyone; newb or veteran, new to GP or old hands alike. Everyone is welcome!
✅Character Creation & Restrictions:
>>>Having an idea in mind for a character couldn't hurt but I'm leaning towards having the selected players flesh things out together as a group once the game starts.
>>> Initially, starting with a single character per player is the best option but once play has progressed a bit I'd be open to the option of players having multiple characters in play.
✅Adult Themes and Content:
>>>While I'm not aiming for anything to progress into those areas, I do feel like a discussion of Veils & Lines is always good practice when starting a game...as is adhering to GP general guidelines.
>>>That said, there's a good possibility of themes of Identity, Body Dysphoria, Social Inequality, Transhumanism, Bullying and other topics arising...just so there's warning given.
✅ Marginalized Communities Welcome:
>>> This game accepts everyone with open arms.
